Conveniently located in the heart of Zona Dorado on the Malécon. Friendly & helpful staff who provided excellent service both in the restaurant & on the beach. The buffet always had plenty of choices & there are many other restaurants & pubs close by for other options. The hotel was always kept clean. There were always beach chairs available. The rooms are a little older & smaller. There are a LOT of vendors on/along the beach. We would definitely go back.

First time at this resort and WILL return!, This is an old/dated resort but totally worth it! Most staff are AWESOME, specifically Manuela…lovely lady that’s been there over 30 years! And the location cannot be beat! The food was quite good…assortment of foods for all 3 meals..didn’t drink much but when we did drink, they were great! Overall, one of the best experiences in Mexico we’ve ever had!

Restaurant staff very unfriendly. Only concerned about their tips. The all inclusive does not include things you want to eat, like guacamole when you are in Mexico!!! Staff will only give a glass of water. No bottled water and the wine selection is null when you are paying $200 a day

Definately needs a remodel. No outlets in bathroom, have to step up into. We were in 242 which was a suite. Very old hotel. The buffet was really nice as was the entertainment on saturday night. Noisy at times from the pool area with lots of kids screaming.

We spotted this resort on a previous trip and immediately planned a friends trip. The location in the heart of old city is unbeatable. The resort is small but has everything you need. All areas are very very clean. The staff right from check in to check out were so nice. Our whole group loved Alejandro who served us every day. He genuinely loves his job and is so friendly and was always happy to help. The cleaning staff for the room were so kind and top notch. A la carte went 2 nights and it was so tasty! The women cooking eggs in the morning was the best and so nice. She deserves all the tips! The beach set up is great. The man works very hard to set everything up for you and he is super friendly. I give high praise to this budget friendly resort. My only issue was the overwhelming amount of vendors on the beach. We saw the same 15 people 10 times a day asking for us to buy. They did not care if you were talking to someone else or sleeping or reading your book. Unfortunately our group gave up on the beach after two days because of this. I know they are trying to make a living but this was the most persistent and aggressive selling I have seen in all of Mexico Overall 10 out of 10. Thank you for an awesome trip!

The lack of cleanliness around the pool area was disappointing as well as the hallways and the stairwells. Rooms were decent but definitely run down.

We were not aware this hotel is super gay friendly, every other person was gay. Made us very uncomfortable especially as 2 straight guys getting constantly hit on and stared at, beware if your looking for a party resort. Steer away if you’re straight. They should mention this more often in the actual reviews.
